  1. I got this tip from Eric Cortina on adjusting OAL using a Wilson seater die. Used in conjunction with an Excel spreadsheet, it makes reloading easier to manage. Always make sure the main body of the screw head is orientated to the same position. I locate the locking grub screw under my thumb.
  2. I have them on my .308 Sako. Excellent quality, I would agree with Pat above.
  3. To the guys who've bought the induction heaters. The replaceable heater coils go through a black plastic face with two holes in (and an LED light) and then into two holes in the interior metal body. The hole on the plastic face can be off-set from the holes in the metal interior body, this can result in the heater element touching the plastic face. Solutions: 1. Make sure the soft copper wire is bent away from the plastic face. And or 2. Open up the holes in the plastic face so there is plenty of clearance around the heater element. Apart from that I'm very happy with the system that the US guy put together. Like him, I will need to go to a USB desktop fan, (with a three pin plug to USB female) to keep things cool for larger quantities of cases.

  5. The video is good for sorting out the cable connections. The 'Kit Box' to put the relay, delay, timer in MUST be at least L100xW80xD55, I received no instruction with the electronics, but you can Google the number on the unit and download the PDF instruction. Having said that the video does explain most of it, especially Mode 5. There is a method of increasing the fractions of a second from 0.0 to 0.00, I messed it up once and it took a while to get it back to 0.0, but I was drinking a can of beer at the time. I used a table light switched to 'on' to plug in to the circuit when testing. My face must've been a picture the first time it worked. I have seen cable ties used inside the Kit Box to stop the cable pulling out accidently. I cut up an old anti-scratch collar, (the dogs, not mine) and folded it over and cut holes in to restrain the clips, (there are normally posts inside to put self-tappers in). I used an old laptop power supply, it will probably be easier to cut off the balancing unit near the plug and add one later so you have enough free cable to get inside the Kit Box. There was a guy on one of the Forums who had a lifetime of experience with heat treatment. Alantoo, his post is near the bottom of the page.
  6. I went this way. It works fine. I use plain green soap as a temperature indicator. All parts available on Ebay (UK)
  7. It looks like you have a nice stable powder load from the three groups, with very little movement of the groups vertically. I would try your 46.0g load with a .040", .060", .070" and .080" stand off. If you can see an improvement, then you could start to move in to it with 003" steps. Forget the grouping to the left. the POI will move around as you change the charge and the stand off. The right hand chart is for vertical movement, but you can see the horizontal movement just above the light blue box I've just been through the process with Fox 150g in .308

  9. Try this website for GSC bullets. Johan is very helpful. http://www.t2ammo.com/index.php/GS_Custom I suggest you use TransferWise to pay, cheaper than a bank and very reliable. https://transferwise.com/ There are no import restrictions on expanding ammunition since the change of law regarding posting between individuals. I recommend a charge based test to get a series (two!) of horizontal groups. Explained here. Please note: It's nothing to do with the bullet holes being in a horizontal line, rather the relationship between adjacent groups. http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/long-range-load-development-at-100-yards.3814361/ Gerard Shultz recommends a 0.5 or 1.00mm (0.039 370 078 74") spacing for initial COAL testing. I found this too coarse and jumped right over the node. Run a series of bullet length tests at 0.006" intervals reduce this down to 0.003 when you have an indication that you're getting somewhere. I found these bullets to need at least 0.100" stand off, so you could start there. I found I got lots of advice on what other people do, but not much on HOW. I hope this helps.
  10. No, sorry. Only info available on Holts website. You could try contacting them.
